This 'invention relates tofimprovements in arch nose construction, andhasfor its objects supporting .bracket or member .asa novel ,ar- ,tic eof p manufacture.;4 `which `insures proper ,positioning of .the tileupon Y asu porting member and prevents accidental disp acement.therefrom a'tter assembly.; which` includes a w'illalso properly'positionand prevent accidental l:displacement of the constituents,thereof. These vandotherv objects will be. more fully seti forth anddescribed in the following 1 specification as shown in theaccompanyingdrawingwhichisa vertical section cfa portion vthrough the tire archthenosel supporting bracket being shown in elevation. i

"The continuons flange` 13b above and adjacent the flange 13i is alsoprovided with a verticahportion 13m, functioning as a stop ilange.

In the construction of the arch nose the tile 15, 'having flange'engaging recess 15d, is mounted upon the bracket-flange 13f in themanner shown in the drawing5fthe stop portion 131.1 of Harigelbservingto limit the Ainser- A second irregularly shaped block or tile16 isypiovidecl having a blind end recess 1262:4

Alsoby waff` raising or vertically spacing thesupporting flanges a greater depth of refractory will be found at thenose portion, whereby it is desired to interpose greater resistance tothe intense heat there encountered.

It will be obvious that my nose bracket 13 may be readily cast as anarticle of manufacture and provides a separate support for the differenttypes of tile or blocks making up the arch nose. Also as explainedabove, the component members ofthe arch nose are prevented fromaccidental displacement in view of the construction and arrangementdescribed. The curtain wall is also readily positioned and retainedagainst lateral displacement, being also wholly and independentlysupported by the arch nose bracket and not upon the tile of the archnose.

I do not wish to be restricted to the form of:l my invention shown anddescribed except as defined in the appended claims.

What I claim is:

l. An arch nose supporting member having a lower horizontal tilesupporting flange, an intermediate tile supporting flange extendingoutwardly from said member, and an upper tile supporting flangeextending outwardly and upwardly from said member, said u per flangepartially overlying and located a ove and projecting beyond saidintermediate flange, said flanges being open at their outer ends andconstructed and arranged to permit sliding movement of tile intoposition on said flanges.

2. An arch nose comprising a supporting member having supporting flangesspaced laterally and vertically fromA each other, stop members co-actingtherewith, refractory tile recessed for engagement with and separatelysupported by said flanges and contacting with said stop members when inassembled relation, said stop members being located and said tileconstructed to provide the desired clearance between adjacenttile.

3. An arch nose comprising a supporting member, said supporting memberbeing provided with a supporting flange atv its lower portion, and asecond tile supporting flange located above and at one side of saidfirst named flange, said second flange being inclined outwardly andupwardly from said member, a refractory block mounted upon said firstnamed flange and having its upper face inclined outwardly and downwardlyfrom said member, a second tile mounted upon said second flange, saidlast named tile having a lower' face adjacent the inclined face of saidfirst named tile, and a substantially horizontal upper face with meanscoacting with said upper face to lock said tile against accidentaldisplacement from said supporting member.

4. An article of manufacture comprising an integral arch nose bracketformed with a curtain wall supporting flange and a plurality ofoutwardly projecting spaced tile supporting flanges, one of said flangesbeing inclined upwardly and outwardly from said bracket, said bracketbeing further provided with a stop flange coacting with each of saidoutwardly projecting flanges to limit the movement of insertion of eachof." said tile.

5. An arch nose supporting member having an outwardly projecting tilesupporting flange, a second tile supporting flange partially overlyingsaid first named flange being spaced from and located above said firstnamed flange and projecting therebeyond, said second named flangeextending outwardly and upwardly 'from said member, both said flangesbeing open at their outer ends and constructed and arranged to permitsliding movement of refractory tile into position on said flanges.

(l. An arch nose comprising a supporting member having a lower tilesupporting flange and a second tile supporting flange partiallyoverlying said first flange being spaced from and projecting beyond saidfirst flange, a lower' nose tile carried by said lower flange, and anupper nose tile carried by said upper flange and partially overlyingsaid first tile.

7. An arch nose comprising a supporting member having a lower tilesupporting flange and a second tile supporting flange partiallyoverlying said first flange being spaced from and projecting beyond saidfirst flange, said second flange being also inclined upwardly from saidmember, a lower nose tile carried by said lower flange, and an uppernose tile 100 carried by said upper flange and partially overlying saidfirst tile.

8. An article of manufacture comprising an integral arch nose bracketformed with a curtain wall supporting table portion and a 105 pluralityof underlying spaced tile supporting flanges located one above the otherand constructed for the free insertion of slotted refractory tile, oneof said flanges partially overlying the subjacent flange.

9. An article of manufacture comprising an integral arch nose bracketformed with a curtain wall supporting table portion and a plurality ofunderlying spaced tile supporting flanges located one above the otherand 115 constructed for the free insertion of slotted refractory tile,one of said flanges partially overlying the subjacent flange, saidoverlying flange being also inclined upwardly and outwardly from saidbracket.

10. An article ofmanufacture comprising an integral arch nose bracketformed with a curtain wall supporting table portion, a plurality ofoutwardly projecting tile supporting flanges, one of said flangespartially over- 125 lying a subjacent flange, and stop means associatedwith said overlying and subjacent flanges to limit the entering movementof refractory tile.

11. An arch nose comprising a supporting 130 'Ill member, Saidmember'being provided with a plurality of tile supportin vflanges openat their outer ends, one of sai flanges partially overlying thesnbjaoent yflange, a, stop flange 5 associated with said overlying andsubjacent flanges, and refractory slotted tile slidable longitudinallyinto position on each of sai-cl flanges, each of said tile being limitedin its K formation.
